Chester Road, Oakmere, CW8

Comment from Robert Reed of Gascoigne Halman

This exceptional custom built and designed detached residence, known as Reel House, occupies a convenient non estate location, falling within the sought after Delamere Academy Junior School catchment area. It is also positioned to enjoy daily walks into Delamere Forest. The house has seven years of remaining building warranty.

Completed in 2025 and extending in total to 3166 square feet, this unique new build property has been meticulously crafted to the absolute highest standards, offering an immediate impression of quality from the moment of arrival. The front and side of the house are framed by a bespoke brick boundary wall, while the open fronted storm porch, featuring a classily elegant brick archway, provides a welcoming architectural introduction to the home.

Engineered with sustainability in mind, the residence boasts an impressive Grade B energy efficiency rating with a commendable and very rare score of 88 out of 100. This is achieved through a sophisticated, high grade air source heating system that efficiently delivers underfloor heating across the ground floor and feeds traditional radiators on the upper levels.

Upon entering, the accommodation opens into a grand entrance hall, where the primary focal point is a superb, bespoke oak staircase. From this central space, access is gained to the principal living room, a pleasant retreat featuring a beautiful brick fireplace with a timber mantle, all of which houses a wood burner. There is a large bay window that looks out over the front elevation. Spanning the entire rear of the property is a spectacular open-plan breakfast kitchen, dining, and family area. Representing the pinnacle of modern design, this expansive space serves as the true hub of day to day living and features elegant bifold doors that open directly onto the landscaped gardens, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. A practical and well appointed utility room is conveniently situated just off the kitchen area and off the hall is a cloakroom, which completes the ground floor.

The first floor continues to impress, beginning with an elegant and spacious landing that guides you to four beautifully proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom on this level enjoys the luxury of a walk in wardrobe and a stylish en-suite shower room. Another bedroom on this floor, designated as bedroom four, also benefits from built in storage and an en suite. The remaining two bedrooms on this level are well served by a contemporary family bathroom, finished with high end fixtures.

Ascending to the second floor reveals a magnificent master bedroom suite that extends to an impressive eighteen feet nine inches by eighteen feet eight inches, complete with its own private en-suite shower room and ample storage provision. Directly opposite this suite sits another substantial room, measuring eighteen feet eight inches by thirteen feet four inches. While this versatile space could easily function as a sixth bedroom if required, it is more obviously suited for use as a luxurious dedicated dressing room to the master suite or as a quiet, comprehensive home office away from the hub of daily living. It should also be noted that CAT 6 cable wiring is throughout the property from a media / communications hub cabinet.

Externally, the property is enveloped by superbly landscaped gardens that have been thoughtfully designed to maximise both space and privacy. The main lawn is situated to the side of the property, offering generous proportions for outdoor recreation. To the rear, a seamlessly blended patio area connects effortlessly with the open plan kitchen and dining space, creating an ideal environment for alfresco entertaining. The grounds are bounded by high quality fencing and brick walling that ensures a pleasing degree of privacy, with the entire plot extending to approximately 0.20 acre.

The aspect to the front is a commercial storage site, which is not visible from the garden but can be seen on the first and second floors.

In terms of location, the house lies within a short stroll of the Vale Royal Abbey Arms, a really great pub and restaurant that has built up an excellent reputation. Not only that, but go down nearby Station Road and you will find Delamere Stores, Delamere Railway Station and of course, the sensational Delamere Forest. All of this in addition to being within catchment for Delamere Primary School, known as Delamere Academy and being seen as one of the best examples of its type within the region. The location also lies within catchment for schools in Tarporley.

A really super bespoke home, offering great value for money and no chain, come and take a look!
